SPIg.IT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It will not be said that in our allusions to the Marquis of Headfort, as the propounder of schemes for the destruc tion of the Church Establishment, we have dealt unfairly by him. Lord Headfort's own words, delivered at a pub lic Meeting, were the evidence on which we had accused him of compassing the destruction of Church and State. In deed, the Noble Lord has long, ere now, supplied from his own lips or pen abundant materials for his reprobation by every virtuous man in society ; but of that hereafter. It will hardly be asserted by any one who knows Lord Head fort's history, that in speaking contemptuously of that personage as a " vicious creature," we have gone an inch beyond what justice warranted. Nor will it, on the other hand, be said that in urging Lord Melbourne, the head si r * the Queen's Government, to dismiss from a hie, and dis tinguished office in her Majesty's houselee an individual who ought never, under any circumstsences, to have had ac cess thither, we behaved othserwise than discreetly and delicately towards the delinquent Marquis, towards Lord Melbourne, :sod towards the Sovereign her self, when we furrs'ished the Prime Minister, who is also, par excellence., not merely arbiter deliciarzon within the Palace wall, but magister nzorum of the Court circle, ma terials fe a getting rid of such an encumbrance as the Mareeuis of Headfort, drawn from political considerations, and., from them alone. In better times any public function ary who had dared, under the mask of exercising the " right of petition," to fly in the face of the Government which employed him, to aim at the subversion of that sys tem of policy which such Government had deliberately adopted and proclaimed as " final" not six months before, to attempt the undisguised abolition of the Protestant Established o.hurch, which tlie Sovereign at her Corona tion had sworn solemnly to protect and foster, and which he, the conspirator against it, had pledged himself by oath to maintain in its revenues, rights, and privileges—we say, that in better times than these an official culprit of that descriptien. would have been dismissed on the spot, and without waiting for an appeal to public opinion, or to the honour of Ministers, or their sense of shame. Our purpose in denouncing Lord Headfort, on political grounds, exclusive of all others, was, we repeat, kind both towards him and towards Lord Melbourne. It was a memento to the latter that Lord Headfort was a man not fit to be intrusted with executive power, rear worthy of being admitted near the Royal person, asea a hint to the Noble Viscount that he should not compel us to resort to argu ments of a more caustic end painful nature. Lord Mel bourne, therefore, earniot complain of having been taken un awares in the sequel of this discussion. He has forced it on us by hie utter disregard for this last fortnight of our address to his principles as a counsellor of the Crown, and a swes-n adherent and protector of the British monarchy. W e now admonish Lord Melbourne, as chosen companion of the Queen of England, supreme governor of the Royal household, and responsible for the composition of that select and cherished community, on fresh and more urgent grounds. Who is the Marquis of Headfort ? and what are hiequalifieationsfor Lord of the Bedchamber t o a youthful and innocent Queen? When Lord Melbourne was taxed by Lord Winchilsea in the Hou:e of Peers with the nsmination of a certain Mr. Turton to a public office in North America, be denied all knowledge of such an appointment, and ex pressed both " concern and surprise" that Lord Durham Lad so bestowed his patronage. We believe that there was not a man or woman in England, with the slightest sense of rectitude or decency, who was not shocked by that nomi nation. Bu: what, again, is the Marquis of Headfort ? He is, and has been ever since the accession of Queen Victoria to the Crown, a Lord of the Bedchamber to her Majesty. Will Lord Melbourne dare to plead ignorance of the appointment of the Noble Marquis to that house hold office? Will he, as in the case of Mr. Turton, dis claim all participation in it, or responsibility for it ? Will be, finally, pretend that he knows nothing of the history of Lord Headfort, or of the events of a life some passages of which must have too deeply offended a mind so pure and a moral taste so spotless, as that of Lord Melbourne to be soon effaced from his reco l 2ection ?—Times. A curious case was goes ":r consideration in the Insolvent Court yesterday. T i ne facts elicited throw a curious light on certain kinds of wholesale swindling, which are carried on in Lon , de sa . The case t o w hi c h we allude is that of a person emo figured recently as a " Director" in a sham " &l i nkable Loan Company." The imposture was soon ?eetected, and the more active members of the gang would appear to have absconded, before they succeeded in doing much mischief. But although the swindlers who ar ranged the scheme of the " London Equitable Loan Company" have failed in the attempt to realise wealth by their knavery, it is impossible to look around, without witnessing the success of other projects, quite as delusive as this notable " loan" fraud. How many " bubble" com panies have, within these three years past, rewarded their originators with •Liches—riches, wrung from people of small incomes, wArom the pressure of the times has induced to gamble, in the hope of augmenting their resources! For aus c .,•'nt that appears to the contrary, indeed, nothing pre vented the complete success of the " London Equitable Loan Company," excepting the miserable poverty of its projectors. Had these fellows, instead of being unable, as they proved to be, to pay their clerks' salaries, possessed the command of a few thousand pounds—why, they might, perhaps, soon have contrived, like other schemers not more honest than themselves, to coin the public gullibility into large fortunes. Some means of estimating the extent of that gullibility are furnished by the fact, that men without even a shilling to maintain appearances, venture now-a days, boldly to organise extensive schemes of robbery un der false pretences. It might be well, perhaps, if not a few of our wonder-pro m i s i ng j o i n t stoc k compan i es were suliected to police supervision of a somewhat searching character.—Morning Herald. The Roman Catholic priesthood have been accused of a secret hostility to education in every shape, as adverse to their influence and mastery over the understandings of men ; and of late years the clergy of the Protestant Esta blished Church had betrayed a desire to thwart and oppose the only plans of popular instruction which they must know in their hearts to be practicable or acceptable to the people. In Ireland, more particularly, it seems to be the unanimous wish of the ministers of the Establishment to keep the mul titude in a state of total ignorance, unless upon conditions which they are perfectly aware can never be acceded to. They insist upon religious instruction being communicated to children professing a different creed from their own, according to the strict rules which they prescribe ; for such is the obvious and undeniable tenor of their demand for the whole volume of the Scriptures, as the indispensable concomitant of every other branch of knowledge. What is this, in fact, but to insist that the poor shall continue wholly unenlightened, destitute of all instruction, unable to read or to reason, and thus shut out froen receiving or examining the truths which these would-be " leaders of the blind" are so anxious to place before them ? Hitherto the opposition of the Irish Clergy to the education of the people has been confined to the instruction of the lower classes ; for they have never exposed themselves to the ridicule which would inevitably follow an attempt to fetter the education of the opulent by restrictions which happily they have not the power to enforce. Many of them, on the contrary, who are schoolmasters by profession, are in the habit of pursuing towards their own pupils, the very system which they de nounce as anti-Christian when it is applied to the children of the poor. We have before us the advertisement of a diocesan classical school, such schools being endowed by the annual contributions of all the beneficed clergymen in each diocese, in which is set forth, tolidem verbis , as an ind ucemen t t o p aren t s t o en t rus t th e car e o f their chil dren to the master, that a practice which is framed upon the identical principle of the national school system is pur sued there :—" Archdeacon Maunsell lectures the Pro testant pupils on the Scriptures every Saturday at one o'clock. The Roman Catholic pupils are instructed in their religious duties by assistants of their own persuasion." This is the system in one of the first classical schools in Ireland—the diocesan school of Limerick, a school sup ported by the Protestant Clergy, and especially patronised by the Bishops of Limerick and Killaloe, by the Lord Chancellor, and by several Professors of the University. Doctor Charles Elrington, the Regius Professor of Divi nity, we believe, amongst the rest. Nor is it peculiar to that establishment alone. The same method is pursued wherever the children of Protestant s an d R oman C atholics are brought up together ; and we have no doubt that the great gun of war, Doctor Mortimer O'Sullivan him. self, who was a schoolmaster for many years, followed pre cisely the same system ; that is to say, that he put the Bibl e into the hand o f his Protestant boys, and left te Catholics instruction as they might best imbibe to such Divine from the lips of a Popish usher andthe priest. s enseview of th e er whenend is All these Reverend e th in a commoncondition to choose for case,theevparent take him self, and—which is an argument sometimes of marvellous potency—able to pay for his c hi v ld; ta a g m e l s t o h f ey a g re o a o d d ily andlit a e s r s a i r s y t in affording in such cases ara. education, unencumbered the w ith the p p adao ly s i eg s i ne qua non of a religious rintsetset,daobmouctawn haigcrhees.carcßenlyt any two sects or parties en c there : s a party in the than a Church these,m whoorecourageous for e n f 0 , more re io g consistent, or more honest the same r ule with the rich and the poor indifferently, of knowledgedifferently,and excluding all from an approach to h who refuse to take the key from themselves.in his is the - party represented by the Rev. Mr. Gre g g i paper, the Statesman, which fearlessly declares aeeainiastletrhe spread of information, as the one thing not need ful Ire land. The reader is probably aware that a project is on foot for the establishment of p rovincial co lleges in Ireland, for the purpose of render:: a sound practical education, and an acquaintance with those liberal arts which soften:and civilise the manners, accessible to persons of moderate means. Numbers of noblemen and eminent individuals of all professions and opinions con , cur in thinking this an excellent proposal, and recommend ing it by the weight of their names and influence. But not so our enlighted Statesman, who preaches and squibs by turns with zeal, to convert his ignorant countrymen from darkness to light. does not consider an education such as would enlarge the polVers of the mind, and help, while it should urge it to inquire, a means of advancing that object, or of serving the rural gentlefolk of Ireland. On the contrary, it would be a great ihindrance to both. The following possage from one of his lucubrations, is a psycho logical curiosity : " We apprehend that in the present state of the population of Ireland anything eilculdted to stimulate the appetite for academic education and degrees is hut little calculated to serve the interests of the cornimmity. We should say that the appe tite is too great as it is. The disposition in this country is to rush to the professions—t) despise the humbler walks of in dustry. Hence trade languishes; the professions are over stocked ; and two very l'op;s'i evils, pride and poverty, are in no very small degree augmented. We do seriously think that an additional University in Ireland would be a great evil. We should recommend the thinking people of Cork to set their face against it." If any consideration could add to the authority of so grave a decision in favour of ignorance it would be this, that the Rev. T. D. Greg.: was himself some nine months since placed at the head of a once famous seminary, the Feinagliao Institution of Du)lin, in which it was of course his conscientious endeavour to " stimulate the appetite for academic education an.l d-groes." It was one of those es tablishments for mixed education in which especial care was taken not to provok , . th: Catholic pupils into uncom fortable collision with their or';er school-fellows by a simul taneous study of the sae red :olumes ; but under the magic ferula of this renowned pe,lagogue the danger of such un seemly jostling was soon reduced to an impossibility, for in a month or two the ha% aid lecture-rooms were swept clean of Protestants and Catholics alike. -That specula tion havity , thus, to use the Irish phrase, gone to the bad, he has taken to the more c..n;enial occupation of decrying the species of knowledge which a discerning public would not receive from his The fable of the fox that lost his tail in a trap will supply the most appropriate mo:al t o such a fact.—Morning Chronicle, MONEY AND CITY NEWS• (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIME S.—The paper money mania appears to be spread ng far and wide, and no example perhaps need be desired of the perdicious absurdity of the lengths to which it may be car ried than the establishment of a Joint-stock Bank already alluded to, which was actually announced in St. Domingo, according to advices from thence of the latter end of Sep. tember. One of the principal reasons assigned for this scheme was the difficulties experienced in procuring specie for the payment of duties. This, it appears, had forced the Government to accept bills on Europe at the enormous rate of exchange of 156 per cent., but on the following conditions Two bills were to be taken from each house having duties to pay, and a third after the receipt of advices of the acceptance of the first drawn. The rateable amount of each bill had not been fixed, but the same facilities were to be given to every house, whether the bill was for the amount of 1,000 dollars, or as there called gourdes, or of 50,000 dollars. The capital of the bank was to be 500,000 dollars, in 5,000 shares of 100 dollars each, and it is stated that several of the leading inha bitants of Port-au-Prince were at the head of the undertak ing. The statutes of the Bank bad been published, and were ratified with the approbation of the President of the Republic. Nothing, it appears, was wanting to enable the Bank to re. some operations but the filling up the list of subscriptions for shares, the whole amount of which was to be paid down in the legal currency of the country. It seems rather an awk ward method of inviting shareholders, or of gaining credit for its paper money, to announce as a cause for starting a Bank the impossibilith of finding specie sufficient to carry on the most common transactions of business, and that too in a produce exporting country. The fact does not augur much for the profit or stabiay of the Bank, although, by way of temptation, it is held out that the legal rate of interest in the island is fixed at 12 per cent., whilst the current rate was 24 per cent. per annum, and sometimes as high as cent. per cent. p er annum, for a week or other short period. It is singular that a joint-stock bank had been formed some time since in this country for Havannah, where specie is notoriously plentiful, although the rate of interest, notwithstanding this difference of circumstance, is often as high as from 15 to 25 per cent. per annum, or as much as 2} per cent. per month, for periods of one, two, or three months. Whether specie is scarce, a s in St. Domingo, or abundant, as it is in France and Haven nah, it would appear to create no impediment or suggest no doubts of the ultimate profit of paper money making in the minds of speculators. The recent example of the United States would seem to be viewed as rather of an encouraging tendency than otherwise, by showing with what facility bads can evade their engagements and suspend their payments, when pressed by the holders of notes to redeem them in specie, according to the promise to pay on the face of them. It re. mains to be seen whether the blacks of St. Domingo will be as readily induced to part witt their sugar and coffee in ex change for bank paper as the cotton planters of Alabama and Mississippi for the notes of the hanks of those States. ROYAL SOCIETY OF HORTICULTURE AND AGRICULTURE.—The first cv,:niog exhibition for the session took place yesterday evening-, at the new and commodious rooms of the society in the S:rand, G. Glenny, Esq , in the chair. The specimens of plants were numerous, considering toe inclemency of the sea on, amongst which was Correa Rufa, a plant seen nearly for the fiat time in flower- ; a new species of Loelia, from Mex'co, never before seen in flower in Eng land ; several blooms of Ip-nnea Horsfallii, a very pretty spe cimen of Cytisus Elegans, &c., front Mr. Glenny. Several collections of wax flowers excited much attention;as did various models of horticultural buil , lihgs, instruments, &c. Professor Johnson next delivered a lecture on the mosses, and their utility in the objects of nature, and the Chairman stated the object of the Society, which was for the practical illustration of botany and its collateral sti , j,crs. The Sunderland Tories were all cock-a-hood before the Municipal E'ectims—talked solemnly of the vast importance of the result—ao I boasted largely of the success which awaited their eff :rts in the contest. But now—" the grapes are sour." " It is perhaps better that things should remain as they are, for a short period longer," says their philosophic organ.

CHRONICLE.—ConsoIs are a little higher to-day, and the English Stock-market generally presents a more satis factory appearance, although the business transacted in it is not very extensive ; but this, indeed, is a period of the year when there is not so much business going on. Consols for Money and the Account closed at 744 to Three-and-a Half per Cents. Reduced, 101 to ; New ditto, 102 k to I; Exchequer Bills, 68s. to 70s. prem.; India Bonds, 635. to 65z. prom. ; Bank Stock, 203 to 204; and India Stock, 261 to 262. _ _ The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London for the week ending the 10th instant, Saturday last, consisted, according to the official returns, of 845 ounces► of gold bars, which were sent to Hamburg; 300 ounces of gold coin, which were shipped for South Australia; 15,419 ounces of silver bars, forwarded to Madras; and 31,669 ounces of silver coin, of which 15,000 ounces were sent to Rotterdam, 8,446 ounces to the West Indies, 5,000 ounces to Hamburg. and 3,223 ounces to South Australia. PO ST.—We glean from the advices received from the ma nufacturing districts that money for commercial purposes con tinues full as easy there as in the metropolis, and that the country bankers generally are more inclined to make advances upon good security than they were a week or two back. There seems to be no doubt but this state of affairs has tended much to promote the autumn trade, which, however, we trust may not be overdone through an overweening confidence on the continuance of the present state of the Money Market. The transactions in the continental exchanges have been in extent about the same as for some days past, and although there has not been an alteration in them, the tendency seems to he upwards. On Amsterdam the quotation is 12 4+ to on Rotterdam at 12 4to on Hamburg at 13 101, and on Paris at 25f. 70c. to 25f. 72f e. The British Funds have been firmer to-day and the im provement in the quotations appears to have been accelerated by the continued purchases of the Commissioners of Reduced Stock, which they resumed this morning to the extent of 40,0001., partly on account of the Savings Banks, and partly on account of the Government, against annui ties granted. This circumstance has caused the bear party to buy back their stock, and by consequence Consols have ad vanced to 941, sellers for Money, and 941 to s for Account. The heavier annuities have also improved. Bank Stock is 2034 for Money, and India Stock 262. Exchequer Bills re main at 68 to 70 prem., and India Bonds are 63 to 65. There has not been any speculation of moment in the Fo reign Market to-day. Portuguese New Five per Cents. have slightly improved, and are quoted at 311 to a. and the Three Fel. Cent. ditto at 201 to 4. Spanish Active Bonds, with the unpaid Coupons, are 171 ; Brazilian Bonds have advanced to 78} to 79, and Colombian to 24k; Danish Bonds are 741; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are 54i to -; and the Old Five per Cents., 100-1 to 101. United States Bank Shares are 25i. There has not been much request for Shares to-day. Great Western Railway are 13k to 14 prem. ; Brighton are If to I dis. ; and Black wall are 14 to dis. ; Greenwich,* to 3 dis. ; and Southampton, 31 dis. • London and Westminster Bank Shares are 3f prem. ; and London Joint Stock Bank , 3a to prem. A sporting friend expresses considerable doubt as to the alleged fact that all persons following the hounds, are chargeable with the game duty. He believes that the judges have decided that farmers riding their own horses, are not liable to the tax ; perhaps some legal correspondent will favour us with a line on the point—as our agricultural friends must feel much embarrassment in clearing an awkward looking fence, if they fancy that a tax-gatherer lurks on the other side to sur charge them for their sport.— TVestern Times. CHURCH RATES.—A. Correspondent of the Read ing Mercury, writes—" It is admitted by every liberal Church man that, if there is a 14w to compel those who dissent from the Church to pay to its support, that the law is bad, and ought to be altered—tais being admitted, is it any other than a robbery, under the sanction of a bad law, which the church wardens of St. Giles's committed lately by causing the pro pe,ty of several individuals to be distrained upon for a rate made twelve months back ? I should say that a Christian man, or one directed by a proper feeling, would never strive to put such a law in force—but how stands the case ? These zealous men—these Sauls' of the present day—tried every broker in Reading to assist them in the work, and not suc ceeding, they went to all the towns within many miles of the place ; and, still proving unsuccessful, they actually made an attempt to procure one from London, and failing in this, their last effort was to resort to a part of the town called .‘ Silver street," and by means—l will not say what means—they ob tained the help of a very respectable individual, named Wig gins, to do the business for them. Is this a zeal for the Church that is burning so fiercely in their bosoms, or is it a vindictive spirit ?—if zeal, it is a " zeal, but not according to knowledge." On Saturday morning an inquest was held in the Edgeware-road, on the body of a married female named Per. tall, aged 22, wly) died under very distressing circumstances. It appears that deceased, Rho was the wife of an artist resi ding in Newnham-street, had for some time past been in a very delicate state of health, being subject to fainting fits. On Wednesday morning she was seized with one of these fits, and expired before medical , assistance could be obtained. She had appeared in better health and spirits that morning than for several weeks past. She had not been at all excited, and lived on the most affectionate terms with her husband and HERALD.—We continue without any foreign or colonial advices containing information of the slightest moment. We, however, subjuin the following extract, in substance, from a letter addressed by a gentleman of high standing at Bombay to a house of the highest respectability here, which was re ceived by the overland mail yesterday, and which, as it refers to the aspect of political affairs in India, and the sluggish ad ministration of our Foreign Department, as well as that of the Board of Control, with respect to those important relations of the British empire, will be read with some degree of interest, especially as it confirms, on good authority, the intelligence which has already appeared in this journal : " The public papers will have already informed you that we are about to make an attempt to close our north-west frontiers against the Russians, Persians, and Affghans. I trust that this effort has not been too long neglected, and that we may be efficiently prepared for the conflict which must ensue in that quarter. You may confidently mention that Lord Clare is in possession of a translated copy of an intercepted letter from a Russian officer at Caboul to the Russian Ambassador at Tehran, in which the plans of the Autocrat are clearly de veloped; and unless the details of what has taken place to which this letter refers prove unfounded, your maudlin Lord Palmerston must have the veil removed from his eyes. " Our relations with Nepaul are in a very equivocal state. It is stated that an embassy from the Nepaul Government was stopped at Loadinaunat on the way to Herat, which cannot leave the object of that interruption in doubt. " The Burmese usurper is said to have lowered his tone, but from his former conduct it is very questionable whether he is only temporising until our main forces are engaged in distant warfare. I must conclude by saying that, during my long residence here, and certainly since the government of Lord Wellesley, the political horizon of India has never ap peared so murky." The Money Market continues in the same easy position to which we have lately had occasion to refer, the rate of interest between the bankers and bill-brokers being about 2f per cent. for short periods, and 3 per cent. upon deposits. In the Continental Exchanges there has been no material alteration, yet they are slightly firmer than they were on the last post day : there has been, however, rather more business, and the quotations have a tendency upwards. On Paris they are quoted at 25f. 70c. a 25f. 72c. ; on Amsterdam, at 12 4 a 12 ; on Rotterdam, at 12 4 a 12 44-; and on Hamburg;at 13 101. The quotations in the British Funds have rather improved to-day, and rather more business has been effected than usual. friends. A medical gentleman was of opinion that death was occasioned by the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain. Ver dict—" Died by the visitation of God." The same after noon, between four and five o'clock, the driver of one of the Isleworth omnibuses, on his return from town, had just de scended from his seat when he was observed suddenly to stag ger and fall to the ground. Several persons instantly ran to his assistance, who conveyed him to a surgeon's in the neigh bourhood, the blood flowing profusely from his mouth, having ruptured one of the vessels of the heart. He died almost in stantly. The body was removed to the George Inn to await a Coroner's inquest. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S RULES.—The extraordinary facility in the dispatch of business which, with out interfering with other pursuits to encroach upon business, for which he was ever remarkable, seems to us to be imputable to the following rules:—First, never to postpone anything in a spirit of procrastination, but only when postponement was expedient or indispensable ; second, to give the preference on every subject to broad practical views over ingenious subtleties ; third, to be guided in dealings of all kinds, by fairness, mode ration, and justice; and, fourth, to regard decisions once made as final, except in very special canes. —Edinburgh Review. A buffalo lately made his escape from the Bristol and Clifton Zoological Gardens, and found his way into the city.

Th oug h p rcno unced to be illegal by the authority of the Court of Queen's Bench, a sullen and dogged resolution to maintain it has been manifested by the lowest and coarsest classes, and to bring this feeling within the bounds of proper subordination, a body of metropolitan police officers together with a troop of dragoons, have been ordered into the town; and yesterday (the day appointed for celebrating this barbarous and repulsive anniversary) witnessed, we hope its peaceable and final abolition, without the necessity of re curring to those painful measures, which the laws of justice, reason, and humanity alike require to be framed and enforced. Upon the equal cruelty and cowardice of tormenting a poor defenceless animal that its miseries may be made the source of amusement to " some qt6utity of barren spectators," is an act of which the true spirit of Englishmen can only speak in the same words : " E'en in the midst cf pleasure's mad career The mental monitor shall wake and weep."

A public meeting, to consider the subject, is to take place here on Monday first; and from the interest felt in the undertaking by Lord Panmure, Mr. Chalmers of Auldbar, Mr. Ross of Rossic, Mr. Carnegy of Craigie, and we believe Sir James Carnegie also, there is gcod reason to hope that the issue will justify the expectations or the public.—Montrose Review: Since our last the weather has been exceedingly changeable, alternate days and nights of keen frost and satu rating rains, accompanied on the morning of Wednesday with a very heavy gal^ of wind, which lasted for couple of hours. The Tweed and its tributary streams have been, in conse quence much flooded. The hills and upland parts of the coun. try present, in consequence, a more dreary aspect.—Kek• Chronicle. BANKRUPTS, J.
